About us
Our studio was founded in 2017 as Bad Yolk Games by a group of veteran AAA Developers. The goal was to create a sustainable work culture, centered around employee health and happiness. In 2021, we launched Main Assembly, a physics-based game where players can create anything from eight-legged spider bots to eerie UFO contraptions.
Since then, we’ve evolved into Ember Trail, a name that better reflects our goal and character. We also added some new faces to the studio and moved location and are based in Uppsala, Sweden where we finished making Distant Bloom, a cozy management exploration game.
Our parent company, Kinda Brave Entertainment is a modern game portfolio company focused on acquiring game studios and IP, developing internal studios and a 3rd party publishing division to scout new talented developers innovating for the next zeitgeist.
We are small teams with big ideas.
That’s our lens for making and scouting new games, whether you join the group or sign a Publishing deal to try us out for size.
